Files Included

• MATLAB Data set (.mat and .xlsx): A data set presenting solved cross-shear ratios and pin rotations over the following multidirectional pin-on-plate machine parameters:

  • Gear radii: 2 to 50 mm
  • Pin radii: 2 to 10 mm
  • Stroke ranges: 5 to 50 mm

• MATLAB Pin-on-Plate Tool (.zip): Unzip this file to access the structured MATLAB folder containing:

  • data: Contains parameters used to solve the data set and the solved data set.
  • scripts: Contains the main MATLAB scripts:
    • ConstrainedOptimisationSolver: Solves machine parameters for specific load cases.
    • generateCrossShearGrid: Modify this script to solve for alternative gear radius, pin radius, and stroke ranges beyond those used in the provided data set.
  • source: Includes additional files and functions required by the scripts.

• Python Pin-on-Plate Interpolation Tool (.ipynb): A Python Jupyter notebook that provides a graphical method for interpolating data from the solved data set.
